It starts small - a few greenhouses have seen their crops wither, and the kedan frantically scramble to find the cause. By the time they do, it’s too late. Three days later, the problem seems to occur in every single one of the major greenhouses and hydroponics stations; plants withered and dead, and several kedan sick and showing signs of Dust poisoning after contact with the water supply. While there were no deaths, all had to go to the Healers Guild and several had severe enough reactions that their stay was more than just a brief treatment and overnight observation.

The initial response from a few of the more superstitious kedan is that the run of bad luck has culminated in the ruin of their efforts. More level-headed kedan will be inclined to take a more scientific approach. Kyde and a number of chemists are called in to take samples.

As one might expect (or not, as the case may be), Dust had been somehow integrated into the water that feeds the hydroponics and greenhouses, which wound up killing the plants and sickening the kedan. While it hadn’t made it into the main water supply for the city, there was clearly enough of an organized effort that it affected the public greenhouses and hydroponics systems. Every piece of equipment that comes in contact with the water will have to be flushed to prevent another die-off. It's a big setback, and the process will take several weeks to complete, reigniting concerns about food shortages.

The culprits even left a calling card - painted on the walls or tarps is a message: MALICANT WILL RISE.

Tensions are high everywhere in the city, and morale is low as the culmination of the kedan and Foreigner’s hard work was ruined and, while they aren’t back to square one, there is an enormous amount of work ahead. Going forward, there is an urgent call for the development of better filtration systems to keep out toxins while still distributing essential nutrients, and better security. The kedan will be looking toward Foreigners for assistance in these matters.

Once Sherlock is able to find a vein he withdraws a little blood from the boy-no more than a few milliliters. He takes the needle out as carefully as he can manage and stands up to take the sample back over to the lab area.

While he's up he grabs a band aid and cotton ball before returning to Conan's side. He sticks the cotton ball on his arm where the blood was drawn from and puts the band aid over it.

"There, all done. Though you're probably gonna want to sit there for awhile."

And Sherlock is going to have to sit with him to make sure he doesn't experience any dangerous side effects.

Between the drug-induced lethargy and the flu-like symptoms he'd already been fighting, Conan didn't have the energy to do anything more than just that.

That doesn't stop him from giving Sherlock a sour look.

"You should probably try and sleep it off-just lay on your side." He instructs, reaching over to help Conan do just that-can't risk him choking on his own vomit. He stands up again and moves to the couch where he plucks a blanket off the back and then drapes it over the boy.

"Good night."
